Several law enforcement agencies across the United States are warning the public about various scams involving impersonation and extortion. In Jasper County, Kenosha County, Colbert County, and Camden County, scammers are posing as law enforcement officers to demand payment via cash, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers under threats of arrest or fines for missed court dates or jury duties. Similarly, sextortion scams in areas like Bay Springs and Oconee County involve emails claiming to have spyware on victims' devices, demanding Bitcoin payments to prevent the release of personal information. The Lancaster City Police and Wichita authorities highlight social media scams that manipulate emotional appeals, such as fake missing person posts, to steal data or money. Residents are advised to verify the legitimacy of such communications by contacting local law enforcement directly and to never share personal or financial information with unknown callers or emailers.
